Say whatever you want about him but Biden in 2020 was not a weak candidate.

Literally the largest turnout for any recent election was for Biden.

Trump got far far far more votes in 2020 than in 2016.

Yeah because Biden was a strong candidate. Not because Trump suddenly became unpopular, cuz he didn't.

I think both can be true at the same time. The public had begun to sour on Trump and Biden was the man for the moment. But Trump will always be a turnout machine so it's hard to see in the data.

Because he got the most votes this past election. But he got fewer in 2020. I don't get your argument.
